Yes, Officer, a server farm.

This has actually happened a few times now. Police raiding bitcoin miners homes because they think its a grow house.

My favorite is the cop baiters. It's illegal to use IR to identify grow houses in whatever state they operate in, so they aluminum foil the heck out of a house and crank the heat so it stands out. When the police come in based off a nonexistent anonymous tip, they're basically caught breaking the law red handed.

Can't find the video but I'll keep looking.

I've seen that they also called in an anonymous tip about the house, which in itself is not enough for a warrant but the cops raided anyway.

This seems like a terrible idea. Even if you're not committing any crime why would you want cops to pay attention to you?

[-] SkyezOpen@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago

They did it to expose the cops performing illegal searches.

I get why they did it, but I'm not bringing cops to my door as a gotcha.
